Short summary
Five synthetic aperture radar images are employed to monitor the changes in the inundation areas caused by torrential rain from 9 to 11 September 2015, in the city of Joso, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. The inundation areas were then extracted by setting threshold values for backscattering intensity. The results were modified by considering the land cover and a digital elevation model. Compared with the results from visual inspections, 85 % of the inundation area could be extracted successfully.
